Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 252: The Sword Resounds, the Mighty Heavenly Court

"I ask you, are you ready?"

With such a question asked by the window, Mu Yang felt Zhong Cang's contempt towards him.

This was a self-contrasting ability that could suppress him in an instant.

Feeling this, Mu Yang was initially filled with anger, but soon he thought of something, and a malicious smile appeared on his face.

"Since you want to fight here, then I will grant your wish. However, the destruction caused by the battle and the accountability of the Dragon Palace City will be borne by you."

"There won't be any destruction..."

"Heh, Zhong Cang, has anyone ever told you that you are too arrogant..."

"Hmm!"

The person wanted to say something more, but Zhong Cang didn't give him a chance.

When he said "as you wish," a clear and melodious sword resonance spread in all directions with Zhong Cang at the center.

"Hmm!"

At first, there was only one sword resonance, but upon careful observation, it seemed as if there were thousands of sword resonances overlapping.

The strange and grand sound of the sword resonance caused the souls of those who heard it, whether they were in the Foundation Building or Gold Core (early stage), to have a momentary blankness.

At this moment, this sword resonance already had the power of the previous three sword resonances combined, that is, the power of the Great Sound of Silence!

"Buzz!"

And the unparalleled power was not the entirety of this sword resonance.

Apart from its terrifying power, what made people dread, even fear, was that this clear and melodious sword resonance seemed to have no attenuation as it spread.

Four Seas Pavilion, Yunmeng Dragon City, Dragon Palace, Yunmeng Dragon Marsh... The clear sword resonance surpassed the speed of sound at an inexplicable speed and spread to the outside world.

Three li, ten li, thirty li, fifty li, seventy li, one hundred li, one hundred and eight li!

"Hmm!"

The sword resounds, shocking the world!

This time, Zhong Cang's sword resonance actually spread to a hundred li away in one breath.

Moreover, everyone who heard the sword resonance, regardless of their status or age, as long as their cultivation was below the Nascent Soul level, had a sword appearing in their minds.

Even the swords along the way resonated and responded when the sword resonance spread.

Some spiritually abundant flying swords even flew automatically into the sky, paying homage in Zhong Cang's direction.

It was as if Zhong Cang was the ruler of swords.

"..."

When the sword chant sounded, there was silence for a long time after the sword resonance. The heavens and earth remained quiet.

Many Gold Core cultivators who were still conscious felt the turbulence of the heavens and earth, their expressions filled with shock.

As for why only Gold Core cultivators were mentioned, it was because the souls of Qi Refining and Foundation Building cultivators were blank due to the sword resonance.

It took a full three breaths for the Foundation Building cultivators to regain their consciousness.

At this moment, Zhong Cang's figure had already left the window and closed the doors and windows.

As for Mu Yang, who challenged Zhong Cang, his physical body still stood in place, but his soul had already perished.

Before his soul perished, a jade talisman that had been broken in half fell from his body.

"What just happened?"

"Did I faint?"

"Was that done by Zhong Cang? How could he be so powerful?"

"What about Mu Yang? What happened to him?"

"Mu brother... he's dead..."

After regaining their senses, the Foundation Building Late Stage cultivators, or even the Foundation Building cultivators, were discussing fervently.

And as they understood what had just happened, their expressions turned pale.

The sword resonance just now made many people realize that Zhong Cang and they were not cultivators of the same level at all.

Especially after discovering that Mu Yang, who had taken the initiative to challenge, had silently died, some people were even more frightened and fled from Yunmeng Dragon City overnight.

These people no longer had the courage to stand before Zhong Cang.

The young generation of the human race looked panicked.

As for the offspring of the various water-based Great Monsters, their performance was also far from satisfactory.

The Great Monster offspring who was just clamoring a moment ago now had a pale face.

The strongest son of the Black Jiao, while staring intently at the Four Seas Pavilion, had an even more tense expression, biting his lips until they bled.

Even the most arrogant Dragon Sons and the spoiled Dragon Daughters were staring at the direction where Zhong Cang was, unable to speak for a long time.

Zhong Cang's power and terror exceeded everyone's expectations.

And those who had seen Zhong Cang before exclaimed in fear, "His strength has increased again!"

...

Yes, just as the cultivator who had seen Zhong Cang said, Zhong Cang's strength has indeed increased.

However, this time, the resounding sound of the sword is not because Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower has made a breakthrough.

Currently, this cultivation technique is still at the level of a Four Realm Grandmaster.

And without breaking through to the Five Realm Grandmaster, it can make the sound of the sword resonate for hundreds of miles. The most crucial reason for this is twofold.

First, Zhong Cang's divine soul has undergone sublimation and transformation.

As we all know, Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower is a sound cultivation technique, but it is also an attack on the divine soul and mind.

The specific power of this cultivation technique is closely related to the cultivator's divine soul realm.

Previously, Zhong Cang's divine soul realm was at the Foundation Building stage, so the limit of his sword sound transmission was only a dozen or twenty miles.

But on the day when the invincible path was opened, Zhong Cang's divine soul underwent a transformation through the Thunder Tribulation, changing from yin to yang. This was an extremely important sublimation of the divine soul.

After this sublimation, Zhong Cang's divine soul was no longer afraid of wind, frost, rain, snow, or the sun's rays.

The extremely refined and sublimated power of the divine soul also caused Zhong Cang's divine soul's power to increase several times.

And now, by changing from yin to yang, it has also broken through the limit of Zhong Cang's divine soul.

If Zhong Cang cultivates his divine soul realm to the peak of the early Gold Core stage, the power of his divine soul will increase several times.

With the qualitative change of the divine soul, coupled with Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower, the sword sound that Zhong Cang is currently unleashing is no longer the power of the Foundation Building stage, but that of the Gold Core stage.

Gold Core spells are inherently powerful, and coupled with the sound cultivation technique's ability to propagate, the sword sound can reach a hundred miles away, which is indeed... well, this is still not considered normal.

After all, Zhong Cang's divine soul power has just entered the Gold Core stage and has not been cultivated for decades in the Gold Core stage.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Zhong Cang's sword sound would only reach a maximum of seventy to eighty miles, which is five times that of the Foundation Building stage.

The reason why it can reach a hundred miles now and shock the divine souls of Foundation Building and Qi Refining cultivators with just the sound of the sword lies in the [Heavenly Court] above.

The Yellow Court Heart Sutra derived by Zhong Cang for the Heavenly Court is not just an empty shell, nor is it merely for aesthetics. It possesses tremendous power.

Just like before, when Zhong Cang played the Sword Chant, in addition to the bronze bell transformed by the Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower emitting a humming sound, the wind chimes under the eaves of the palace also moved in unison, producing clear sounds.

These numerous sounds were emitted simultaneously, initially sounding like one to the listeners, but upon closer listening, it was due to the overlapping of thousands of voices.

These wind chimes blessed the sound of the Sword Chant, allowing Zhong Cang's sword resonance to be heard from a hundred miles away, leaving Foundation Building cultivators in a state of blankness.

The reason why the wind chimes under the eaves could bless the sound of the Sword Chant was that it was an anomaly called the "Jade Clear Heavenly Sound."

Qing Qiu said that this heavenly sound would make cultivators clear-minded and almost immune to illusions or other mind-controlling spells, as well as enhance their intellectual and enlightening abilities.

However, Zhong Cang discovered that his Jade Clear Heavenly Sound, in addition to the aforementioned abilities, could also bless the Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower.

But this is still not the entirety of the profoundness of the wind chimes.

In addition to the Jade Clear Heavenly Sound, the wind chimes also involve the formation, the Six Palace Heavenly Sound Formation.

The derivation of the palace group in the Heavenly Court is closely related to the cultivators' experiences, as well as the cultivation techniques they practice.

When Zhong Cang derived his own Cloud Palace, he incorporated the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram, Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram, Ignorant Heart Sword Art, Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower, and even the Five Beasts Infusion Technique... and so on, all into it.

If even these can be incorporated, then Zhong Cang, who has reached a mastery level of formation knowledge, will naturally be included as well.

Therefore, Zhong Cang's Cloud Palace is never simple.

Although it is not as powerful as a true Heavenly Court, it is still full of deadly traps.

And those numerous formations and restrictions, in addition to restricting, trapping, suppressing, and exterminating enemies, can also activate corresponding formations when Zhong Cang casts spells, blessing his spells.

With the assistance of the "Inner View: Heavenly Court," Zhong Cang confidently claims that he is invincible below the Foundation Building stage.

Even when his divine soul reaches the Gold Core stage, he can even contend with lower three grades of Gold Core Perfected Beings.

"No, it's better not to engage with them. Although I have a chance of victory with the assistance of the Inner View: Heavenly Court and the Eye of the Hell King, the danger is greater."

"After all, in terms of the three realms of body, qi, and spirit, I only have a qualified divine soul that can reach the Gold Core realm. Compared to Gold Core cultivators, my qi and body are still too fragile."

Thinking like this, Zhong Cang became even more eager for the Heavenly Dipper Qi and Earthly Fiend Qi.

The Earthly Fiend Body Refining and Heavenly Dipper Qi Cultivation, these two can perfectly complement Zhong Cang's "weak" foundation.

"When the Earthly Fiend and Heavenly Dipper are completely integrated, it will also be the day when I can stably counterattack the Gold Core stage."
